Comprehensive Glaucoma Care with Advanced Diagnostics and Surgical Expertise
The Glaucoma Department at Mahathma Eye Hospital Private Limited provides comprehensive diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment for glaucoma and other optic nerve diseases. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, but early detection and proper treatment can effectively prevent vision loss.
Our department is equipped with advanced diagnostic technology and modern surgical facilities to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management of all types of glaucoma.
Our experienced glaucoma specialists provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition to preserve vision and improve quality of life.
Advanced Glaucoma Diagnostic Technology
Advanced Glaucoma Diagnostic Technology
Our diagnostic facilities include:
- Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
- Non-Contact Tonometry (NCT)
- Gonioscopy
- Visual Field Testing (Perimetry)
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – Optic Nerve & RNFL Analysis
- Central Corneal Thickness Measurement (Pachymetry)
- Optic Disc Photography
- Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM)
- Anterior Segment OCT
- Diurnal Variation of Intraocular Pressure
These advanced tests help detect glaucoma early, monitor disease progression, and guide appropriate treatment decisions.
Types of Glaucoma We Treat

- Juvenile Glaucoma
- Congenital Glaucoma
- Secondary Glaucoma
- Neovascular Glaucoma
- Uveitic Glaucoma
- Traumatic Glaucoma
- Steroid-Induced Glaucoma
- Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma
- Pigmentary Glaucoma
Medical Management of Glaucoma
In many patients, glaucoma can be effectively controlled with medications.
Our glaucoma specialists provide medical management using evidence-based treatment protocols including:
- Prostaglandin analogues
- Beta blockers
- Alpha agonists
- Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
- Combination glaucoma medications
These medications help reduce intraocular pressure and slow disease progression, protecting the optic nerve from further damage.
Laser Treatment for Glaucoma
Laser procedures are commonly used to manage certain types of glaucoma and to reduce intraocular pressure.
Laser treatments available at Mahathma Eye Hospital Private Limited include:
- Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) – for angle closure glaucoma
- Laser Trabeculoplasty – for open angle glaucoma
- Laser Iridoplasty
- Cyclophotocoagulation – for refractory glaucoma
Laser treatments are minimally invasive, quick, and highly effective in selected patients.
Glaucoma Surgical Procedures
When medications or laser treatments are insufficient to control intraocular pressure, surgery may be required.
Our glaucoma surgeons perform a wide range of advanced glaucoma surgeries including:
- Trabeculectomy
- Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C
- Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation (Tube Surgery)
- Combined Cataract and Glaucoma Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
- Cyclodestructive Procedures
All surgeries are performed in modern operating theatres equipped with advanced microsurgical technology, ensuring the highest standards of safety and precision.
Glaucoma Screening and Prevention
Glaucoma often progresses without symptoms in the early stages, which is why regular eye examinations are essential.
Individuals at higher risk include:
- Patients above 40 years of age
- People with family history of glaucoma
- Diabetic or hypertensive patients
- Patients using long-term steroid medications
- Individuals with high eye pressure
Mahathma Eye Hospital Private Limited offers comprehensive glaucoma screening programs that include:
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Optic nerve evaluation
- Visual field testing
- OCT nerve fiber layer analysis
Early detection can significantly reduce the risk of permanent vision loss.
